This afternoon, Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas is making yet another appearance in a long line of many. This time she’ll appear at Citi Field where she’ll throw out the first pitch for the New York Mets in the game against the Colorado Rockies.

On Wednesday, Gabby shared her excitement over Twitter with, “So excited to be a part of Citi Field Kids & to share my story. And I get to throw out the 1st pitch at the Mets game! #ballin lol!”

The 16-year-old will not just be throwing the pitch, but she’ll also be giving a talk from the field and share her inspirational tale of Olympic victory to local children from NYC’s YMCA branches. This is just the latest in the nationwide media blitz surrounding Douglas following her amazing achievements in the all-around women’s gymnastics finals at the 2012 London Games.

Next up for her is an interview with Oprah Winfrey on “Oprah’s Next Chapter.” It will also include an interview with her mother Natalie Hawkins, and will air Aug. 26 on OWN. Her incredible story is sure to inspire many to achieve goals they may never have imagined were possible.
